Act 2, Scene 7 "Alice"

I had already sort of seen it coming that Alice and Henry would kiss, this scene is changing because Henry is trying at most to gain more hope to be free and Alice gives it to him but all of a sudden he is changed to another prison. I enjoyed this scene since, it brought a spin to the story by having Henry sent to another prison, he may not even reach time to get into that prison before he is free, but who knows, there will be a lot of controversy over this.
Henry to El Pachuco, pg.85 "You were wrong, ese... There's is something to hope for. I know now we're going to win the appeal. Do you hear me, ese? Ese! (pause) Are you even there anymore?"
Henry now believes that he will be a free man, and he says this in order to have proven El Pachuco wrong about everything that he has been saying to Henry. Having more hope will cause a bigger fight for freedom and with a bigger fight, more chances of winning and achieving freedom.
Question: Why do you believe Henry was changed to different prison? Do you believe that El Pachuco had already seen it coming?A change in prison, do you believe it is just to bring down everyone's hope for freedom?

  1. I actually thought and still think that it was a plan to bring their hopes down.And it would bring many hopes down but many will give more effort into the case.Maybe even if Henry wasn't so doubtful he would of had a better out come.
